Next Steps

Ok, I'm interested, what's next?

Once you discuss the matter with your family and have a final decision to travel, we suggest the following steps:

1. Students must present three recommendation letters from professors who taught them at PSUT.
2. Visit the websites of the universities you are eligible for and use their online "fee calculator" for updated prices.
3. Study your options for the Master's degree at each university.
4. Also, go over the courses offered in their final Bachelor's year at their bachelor for classes you might be interested in taking abroad.  
5. Start preparing for the TOEFL/IELTS English test and book an appointment.
6. Using the Learning Agreement Form (Please type (not handwritten) in all the information using your computer, do not use handwriting unless for signatures.), write down the  courses that you wish to take abroad, and email it to us at study.abroad@psut.edu.jo
7. Then you should start an online application on the website of your chosen university, and make sure you check the deadlines since semesters in the United States start way earlier than ours in Jordan.  You may start uploading requested documents, including your unofficial transcripts for now (we will provide you with an official transcript when needed).  Once you have most of the requested documents uploaded, email us your application number and/or correct name spelling and/or the email address you used for the application at study.abroad@psut.edu.jo

Students pay the regular PSUT tuition fees during their time spent studying on PSUT campus.

Once accepted as a Study Abroad student, PSUT students receive a discount (partial scholarship) by paying in-state tuition (resident fees) at most of our partner institutions abroad.  This discount is equivalent to about (33-45%) of international student tuition fees which would be normally paid.  The tuition fees are paid at the American university during the student's study time abroad.

The student is responsible for all other expenses such as accommodation, travel, obtaining a visa from the US Embassy, and health insurance.

A deposit of JOD 1000 must be made at PSUT by the student prior to traveling. This payment is due upon submission of the application and will cover student seat reservation fees every semester while being abroad, as per the regulations of the Ministry of Higher Education.

This amount is used as follows:-

• In the event the student is accepted, all semester registration fees are deducted from the JOD 1000 to the sum of JOD 300 for each semester spent abroad (JOD 150 for summer semester), according to the rules and regulations in force at that time. The remainder, if any, is credited to the student’s account

• The full amount will be refunded to the student if he/she is not accepted by the American university.

• A sum of JOD 500 will be deducted if the student is accepted but does not join the program for any reason.

PSUT does not charge any extra fees in exchange for the services of admissions and registration, follow-up, course equivalency or keeping student records updated.

Official Transcripts Process:

While you may use your "unofficial transcripts" to apply for universities in the early stages of the application process, the partner university will eventually ask you for the "official transcript," which is sent directly from the PSUT Registration Office to their Registration Office, whether via email as a soft copy, or as a hard copy via Aramex.

The process for requesting your Official Transcripts to be sent abroad is as follows:

1. Make sure your account has at least JOD 10 deposited in this and go to the ground floor of the Registration Building to use the Self-Service machine and request your stamped transcripts from there.
2. Find out whether that university abroad accepts soft copies or not, and make sure to record the address where they receive International Student Transcripts.
3. Go to the first floor of the same building to Mr Ahmad Dabbas, who will process the sending of these official transcripts for you via email.
4. In case the university only accepts hard copies of transcripts sent by courier, then:   a) Print out the mailing address and telephone number that they request to receive your papers at.   b) Go to the Finance Department to pay JOD 14 for Aramex and ask for a receipt.   c) Take all this information along with your stamped transcripts to the Diwan on the ground floor of the Presidency Building, where they will process the papers for you.
